Crockgarve B and B

This countryside B&B is perfect for a night away. Our room was lovely, and the bed was so comfortable. We had a neat little balcony which was perfect for some stargazing. Our room also came with a jacuzzi bath. Books thoughtfully line the bathroom window sill so you can read as you soak up the bubbles. The shower has every sort of soap and conditioner that you could need so you don't need to pack any. Margo is a very friendly host who really shows interest in what her guests have been up to whilst on their trip. She catered for my dietary requirements perfectly at breakfast and my boyfriend was delighted with his Full Irish! Would definitely recommend staying here.

I was in Ireland for a short vacation and the hosts really made my stay special. They went above and beyond, even picking me up from the bus stop and driving me into town to see heritage sites and explore my families ancestral home. Out of all the places I went in Ireland and of the people I met, I have the fondest memories of this bed and breakfast because how at home they made me feel. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for an authentic taste of the countryside. Many thanks to my hosts.

Discovering our "roots" in the "Mother Country" and spending time with Margo and her family set us up for more than we could have ever imagined! The B&B location was beautiful with sheep and cattle grazing in the lush green fields, and the peacefulness of the countryside set a comforting and relaxing state of which to relax in! The accommodations were impeccably clean, the breakfast was fit for a king, and the time for "Irish tea" most delightful! I enjoyed "tea time" so much that I have made it a point to keep the tradition going once back in the U.S. as a fond remembrance our trip and special times at the Crockgarve Farmhouse B&B. My ancestors were born & raised just down the road from the B&B. Ironically, as a teen, Margo herself worked as a waitress at a hotel which was located on the same property. She thought many of her hospitality and menu delights were gleaned from working there in her youth. Ulysses S. Grant's grandfather's homestead was also located just down the road and has been beautifully restored for public display. Good conversation was enjoyed around a warm and comforting fireplace at tea time and in the evening! I can only say that I felt like I was leaving family when she dropped us at the bus station that morning! I told Margo I had only 3 sisters and no brothers, but could have lovingly called her my 4th sister after the special care and concern she showed while we were visiting there! Thank you so much Margo & family for starting us off on a dream trip of a lifetime!!!

Margo and John Francis created a holiday for me that I couldn't have even imagined! I came here with no agenda, simply just to hang out in the area my ancestors were from, and maybe talk to a few people -- Margo called the whole town to action who all knew more about my family than I did -- and took me around to some really incredible spots, like my family's homestead, the school they attended and the gravesite. Whatever you want to do -- Margo will make it happen! My room was cozy, the meals delicious and the cocktails strong. I met some really lovely people, heard incredible stories and now I'll have to go back at some point.

Best B&B I've ever stayed at! From the welcoming refreshments when we first arrived, to the delicious breakfast each morning, to the phenomenal help in finding my ancestral home, to the tips on good restaurants, this was more like staying family then just another B&B. Margo and John are just the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure to stay with. This will be the only place I'll stay when I come back!

Margo was a super host. Excellent breakfast and really clean house
